A busy Sunday of football comes to its conclusion at White Hart Lane as Spurs and Sunderland go head-to-head in the 4.30pm kick-off.

The hosts’ 4-0 win over Stoke last weekend boosted out faith in the likes of Harry Kane and Dele Alli, yet their midweek Champions League loss to Monaco at Wembley suggests Mauricio Pochettino’s side have yet to hit top gear.

Christian Eriksen and Erik Lamela owners are left cursing their luck after the duo were named amongst the subs, with Mousa Dembele returning to the XI following a six-match suspension.

Certainly, the home side will be buoyed by their visitors’ second-half capitulation at home to Everton on Monday night.

The Black Cats have yet to win under David Moyes and, considering their current form, may well be lucky to avoid a repeat of the 4-1 reverse in the corresponding fixture last season.

    I can safely say pickford is better than mannone and it really hurts me to aay that about the arsenal legend

    This could be teared ankle ligaments.

          Nicely proportionate response there.... 😕

        Too many good options I think

        Deliriously so. Capoue points finally

    • tm245
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Don't need to see that replay again.

    • Vev
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Who do you reckon is the best 3. forward at max 7.2? A bit reluctant to go Deeney seeing as I have already got both Capoue and Holebas..

      1. Revival
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Iheanacho or Rondon

    • Syd.
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      That's a very flexible ankle

    • Ziro
      • 11 Years

      Janssen interesting now...

    • KOLASINA(C)

      OUCH THAT HURTS

    • Malcolm Tucker for England …

      Yessss! Diomande point off my bench! 🙂

    • Bubz
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      Really need to get a Spurs defender

      1. ekul the lokonga enthusiast
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Too expensive

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Not if they keep getting loads of points...

      2. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Not with the fixtures coming up.

        Too late now.

        1. Bubz
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Best defence in the league and have Mid, WBA, Bou, Lei in their next 5?

    • Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 4 months ago

      LOL at the Januzaj considerers.

      1. Jape
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Sunderland's best player. Don't know what's bad about it.

        1. Jape
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          After Defoe.

          Ummmm

          1. Jape
            • 10 Years

            Stream is laggy, just seen the red.

    • Dacra
      • 11 Years

      Just did Haz and Ibra to Mane and Aguero, for - 4.

      Instant hit regret now.

      1. Worzel Gummidge
          9 years, 4 months ago

          The last pair are miles better. I did a -12 and only regret is owning the original players. Hazard out to Sterling -4 is only one that may bite me but doubt it.

      2. Vamonos

        Lost on last page

        Gone for double Swansea defenders so that I can get the following WC team in:

        Foster (Jak)
        Shaw Williams Friend Amat, Kingsley
        Sterling Sanchez Capoue Antonio Firmino
        Aguero Lukaku Benteke

        Thoughts? Would you change anyone? The WC was played to take on Hazard, Ibra, Stones, Ozil > Williams, Sanchez, Sterling, Aguero

        1. Andriy Shevchenko is Back
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          I am thinking about going for exactly the same bar benteke. Considering Rashford.

          1. Vamonos
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            I just think Benteke was excellent today, Rashford going to get more time you think?

          9 years, 4 months ago

          Like this team a lot although you have sacrificed defence for strong front 8. I have Ozil in place of Sanchez and stronger defence but not entirely happy.

          1. Vamonos
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 4 months ago

            Yeah, I had a look at the next few game weeks and Hull and Swansea rotate quite well - other option was Foster > Pickford to release 0.6m which could be used to get a decent WBA defender in for one of the Swansea players. Ozil has been bothering me a bit recently, no doubt he'll start to produce the goods though now that I've removed him!

      3. Give The Todd Some Love
        • 14 Years

        Wow 27 attempts

        Would make it even funnier if Sunderland scored

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Spurs are often like this. Chance a clock, but really poor conversion rate.

        Kane being stretchered.

      5. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Stretcher being called for Kane, announcer just said.

        1. KJT123
          • 15 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          we're not in America

      6. KJT123
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Pickford and Ndong look good players. Premier League standard clubs will be buying them soon.

      7. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        That confirms my WC then. 😀

      8. Krul Runnings
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Kane's goal any good? Could he have had more?

        1. Bucket_
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          He's about to leave the ground on a stretcher so it probably doesn't matter.. but he was fairly lively

        2. Jakarta
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years

          Tap in

        3. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          If Ibra had scored it it'd be 20 pages of Bowstring moaning about how lucky he was 😉

        Who's on bonus for Spurs?

      11. ♤TeddyBear♤
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Is it Safe to bring in Firmino just now? Dont want to lose the 0.1 on hazard

      12. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Stretcher out for Kane. Hope it's not serious, could damage Spurs big time

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Son Heung-min, OoP.

        2. The Enlightener
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 4 months ago

          Gotta be out for at least a month, I am thinking. That was a strong ankle jam. Had to mess something up big time.

      13. The Enlightener
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Well. Kane to Aguero for me. He will be out for a while, it appears.

      14. Le _ Professeur
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        I'm an Eriksen owner and not happy 😐 .. 1 point from Galloway coming off the bench >_

      15. tm245
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 4 months ago

        Unlucky owners, he looked a nice differential.
